Quarterback settled, Ward in the fold, and a A- for the Titans. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Titans did exactly that with Ahmed Hassanein in the 102nd pick.
Landing Carter that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Cam Ward is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Bottom line, with Cam Ward leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In the 3rd pick they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
They read the board right and Jalen Royals was the payoff at the 80th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102
Rnd4
Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein in slot 102 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick119
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Circle this one: Tez Johnson at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in pick No. 121 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach No. 142 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149
Rnd5
Barrett Carter
Taking Barrett Carter in the 149th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick168
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
They left a pile of value on the table to take JJ Pegues this early at the 168th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180
Rnd6
Billy Bowman Jr.
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 180 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick193
Rnd6
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in No. 193 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241
Rnd7
Jake Briningstool
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 23, with Jake Briningstool worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick242
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver in slot 242 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
